On our journeys, we've all met teachers either whom we respect or think are full of shit who are guilty of saying things that made you either scratch your head, question, totally disagree with, or just plain annoyed the hell out of you.

Here's your chance to share.

RULES-To avoid any major kind of controversy or this thread getting closed

1. NO NAMING TEACHERS OR SCHOOLS IN THIS THREAD!

So no, "ooh, (insert teacher's name) said that!" regardless of how obvious the quote might be.

2. The ONLY acceptable detail is general geographic location such as state, country, regions, etc. NO "this school on La Cienega/Santa Monica Blvd/Magnolia Blvd, etc."

"Why do you do this? You're poor and you'll always be poor you stupid, silly ... ACTORS!"

"Breeeeeeeath through your asshole."

"You won't understand how to use this until you're older - after you've had your ass kicked by the world, done a lot of drugs and had sex with strangers." (To a group of high school juniors.)

"It's ACTING. Not acting. Acting schmacting! Got it?"

"You can't do this scene dressed in black! He has to want to fuck you!"

"If I don't have a hard-on by the end of this monologue, you get a B."

"I need to see more of your feminine side - except in a tearing meat off the bone down in the mud fucking a goat kind of a way."

"What the hell have you done to yourself? I need Rosalind! Not a goddamned action star!" (At the beginning of my senior year in high school when I came back all tan and buff after a summer of working out at the beach.)

Teacher was doing this thing where they just talk about random things for the first half hour of class. No actual teaching going on. Student that had been at the school for a good five years or so and was always treated badly by the teacher walks in, doesn't say a word and sits down. Teacher angrily says "from now on when you come in late, say your hellos after class" Stupified actor says "but, I didn't say anything". Teacher says "I could hear your energy and it was distracting". Teacher was dead serious.

"Now, imagine your little sister just got hit by a train... Use that emotion in this scene," said the acting teacher to a 12 year old preparing for an audition with an NYU grad student directing a short film about killing zombies.
